Muslim College Student Who Lied About Trump Supporters Attacking Her On NY Subway Pleads Guilty

On Friday, Yasmin Seweid, 19, the Muslim college student at Baruch College who lied to police, telling them she had been harassed on the New York subway by white men who attempted to seize her hijab, pleaded guilty to falsely reporting an incident and disorderly conduct.

Seweid had claimed the incident occurred on the No. 6 train on Dec. 1, 2016. She told The New York Daily News that three drunk white men screamed “Donald Trump!” and hurled anti-Islam slurs at her, then tried to rip her hijab off of her head. She stated, “I heard them say something very loudly, something about Donald Trump ... I also heard them say the word terrorist and I sort of got a little scared.” She added that they said, “Oh look, a (expletive) terrorist … Get the hell out of the country! You don’t belong here!” She said when she tried to ignore them, they pulled on her bag to get her attention and the strap broke. “That’s when I turned around and said ‘can you please leave me alone,’ and they started laughing,” she said

Her story continued that she walked to the other end of the train; the men followed her and tried to pull off her hijab, yelling, “Take that thing off!” She said, “I put my hand on top of my head to hold it. Then I turned around and screamed ‘what the (expletive).’”

Seweid also took a swipe at President-elect Donald Trump, commenting, “The president-elect just promotes this stuff and is very anti-Muslim, very Islamophobic, and he’s just condoning it.”

Seweid’s father, informed of the supposed incident, said, “Nobody even offered to help an 18-year-old girl. That means something. Her phone was dying. You offer help — it doesn’t matter the race, religion, or the country.”

Days later, Seweid went missing, prompting a search for her.

Seweid was arrested on December 14 on charges of filing a false report and obstructing governmental administration. Police sources stated Seweid lied because she didn’t want to get in trouble for breaking her curfew after being out late drinking with friends.

In court, Seweid wrote an apology that was read by the prosecutor that read, "I was stupid. I plan to continue to find ways to better myself." She had already stated that she wasted police resources when she made the claim, which she made because she had missed her family’s curfew.

Seweid must take six months of counseling and complete three days of community service.

The myth that trump has caused islamophobia to rise is total bullshit, lies from the lying mouths of lying Muslims supported by their lying leftwing liberal allies

Since when does ONE case constitute ''proof'' of anything? If you want to show evidence of a trend be prepared to do the groundwork involved.Present a cluster of at least 5 or 6 cases to support your argument.Don't just casually present ONE case and call it ''proof''.

You haven't even given any timeframe for the trend.If a trend is rising or falling or flattening out, you need to say whether it's happening over weeks/months/years etc. You seem to have a disregard for the basic rules of statistics?

They're all doing very good business actually, very lucrative..

Within one hour after the baptist church shootings fake news was broadcast on FB and YT that the shooter belonged to leftwing groups ...... and RW simpletons believed it and ran with it. Until SM networks removed the lies.

Right wing organisations are always broadcasting lies and negative propaganda about their enemies.

Obviously the likes of smelly and tommy don't care about actual numbers and mathematical analysis. they think and reason in sound bites.

That's what they do. They think one isolated incident changes everything. It would be like me saying you know what? I found an honest insurance salesman, and claiming that proved that the insurance industry was honest and fair

You can't generalize from specifics... is a rule that RW'ers have a great deal of trouble with. I think it's their inability to think in abstractions. They like scripts (in single pictures), but they can't move on to an actual cinematographic picture.

It's why they do not understand systems. Genuine reasoning is taxing for conservatives. Their thing is to reject change, and imagining moving parts is fundamental to change. They don't get the practice. You snooze, you lose.

They actually have quite a talent for appealing to that childish part of everyone, that loves to be told a simple story. I think our inability to counter that is our biggest problem on the left.

Have you been watching the documentary series 'cyber war' ? it is more about politics than tech, I been watching some of it (it's a bit US centric) I think you and Quill might like it

Season 2 started last night down here, it was about just that and how the RW are dominating in the meme space because of the simplicity of their messages plus the easy to use 'nazi' visuals.

I'll check that out, thanks for the tip! I think any insight on how people try to manipulate us is golden.

But of course. I've continually said, conservatives don't have the capacity to reason. Look at our conservatives...they continually offer cliches, catch-phrases and jingos, but can't engage in a reasonable discussion.

Mimes are just the computer vision of such pre-fabricated expressions.

Also the black military cadet officer who was subjected to racial abuse??

Issued the abuse himself

Just showed you proof love.

A Muslim who said trump supporters attacked her lied about the whole thing.

Not sure you understand the concept of proof or statistic.

This womans crime was part of the statistics, she lied therefore the stats are wrong since they are based on at least one lie

Statistical speaking she won't be the only liar in the bunch, therefore the stats will be based on a large percentage of incorrect information.

Hence they are wrong

No stats have been actually taken, little one. I can promise you, though, that the anti everybody who ain't white graffiti that appeared across America was not created by minority people, nor were the anti women insults and such.

Nobody wants to think they're the bad guy but sometimes you are

And you have always been the bad guy.

BLACK KANSAS MAN GETS A FREE PASS FOR HALLOWEEN HATE CRIME HOAX

Dauntarius Williams, 21, admitted to painting racist graffiti on his own car and then parking it near Kansas State University as a ‘Halloween prank.’

The car was covered with racial slurs against blacks and messages that included “Go Home,” ”Date your own kind,” and “Die.”

The vehicle was parked Wednesday at an apartment complex near Kansas State University and is said to have fueled racial tensions at the university and in the community.

The Black Student Union called an emergency meeting that evening to discuss the incident. Kansas State then held a Facebook Live event the next day reassuring worried parents.

People took to social media to express their disgust.

One tweeter user wrote: “I’m so sick of @KState white students like are you fucking kidding me. I’m ready to fight whoever did this.”

“When I decided on @KState for the welcoming atmosphere I didn’t realize it was limited to people that look like me #FixThisFamily,” another tweeter wrote.

The incident resulted in the FBI launching a civil rights investigation into a possible hate crime.

But on Monday the Riley County Police Department issued a news release saying the 21-year-old owner of the vehicle, Dauntarius Williams, confessed to the investigators that he had vandalized his own car.

Despite filing a false report, authorities will not be charging him as it would ‘not be in the best interests of the citizens’ of Manhattan.

“We want to acknowledge that people felt anger and pain as a result of pictures and words that they saw,” Kansas State University spokesman Jeff Morris said Monday in a phone interview to The AP. “Those are very real responses.”

“The incident maybe wasn’t real – the emotions were,” Morris added.

“The whole situation got out of hand when it shouldn’t have even started,” Williams said. “It was just a Halloween prank that got out of hand. I wish I could go back to that night but I can’t. I just want to apologize from the bottom of my heart for the pain and news I have brought you all.”

Police said they recognized the difficulties the case created.

“While William’s mistake had a decidedly negative impact on the community, please recognize that he, like many of us when we were young, is a young man who made a mistake and is now doing his best to own up to it,” said Brad Schoen, director of the Riley County Police Department.

You have proven over and over again that you're obviously the one who doesn't understand even the basics of statistics, simple maths, or the concept of "burden of proof"..

Not satisfied and contented with posting your usual hatemongering and fearmongering neo-nazi rants on here, as seen on this thread you consistently fall back onto neo-nazi and alt.right propaganda sites as your proffered "proof".
